There are differenet kninds of RS/6Ks, and the processor arch. differs between these. There are: * Power * Power 2 * PowerPC (PPC604) * Power 3 * Power 3-II At least one processor used in RS6K is SMT (even if AIX doesn't enable the SMT). Like wise, there are both PReP and CHRP machines, possibly also others. There is a great variety of things hiding under the R6000 name. Feasibility depends both on how many people are interested and how much documentation can be had. > > I'm looking at getting a B50 for a couple of months and would like to get > FreeBSD running on the box. > > Cheers > Gavin > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-platforms" in the body of the message
